I blame Brexit. (I know the forum crash happened before the referendum but I just want to blame Brexit for all evil in the world).

Like Dr Who, some regenerations are better than others but it always endures.

It happened after the vote which was in June 2016 and the date would have been my parents wedding anniversary, that's how I know - 23rd

The forum crashed Mon 12th Sept as I was on holiday in Portugal, trying to post a pic of Howard Keel and couldn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will never truly really understand how it disappeared off the face of this planet and isn't available in at least some shape or form and felt so sad that I wasted 16 years of my life posting for nothing. Hey ho!! Onwards and upwards!!

I think that screen cap is most likely not from 2016 since I think the Larry condolence board had disappeared by then. So my guess is it's from around 2013. But yeah the board was much more busy back then and we had over 10 000 + members when it crashed.

But at least our board is still here and considering where we were in september 2016 it's amazing how far we've come. It shows that there's still some life in this fan community. I mean over 1000 people chose to come back.

It's not for nothing. The old posts may be gone but the friendships we made from this board remains.

No, I don't think we will considering we are just at 2,250 posts and are already lagging behind the total of 6000 threads.

I am just pleased that SC has reached such an impressive amount of threads (I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out Ome) and also that we are all still here posting on the best forum on the internet.

i find it a bit funny that another site i belong to crashed Summer i think it was? or was it Spring? i forget anymore of (2014) than afterwords this one crashed. both of them as far as i know well when it comes to the other site they had no backups actually. it was one of those they thought they had it and felt like idiots that when they went to go look and were shocked when they didn't. so when they were recreating the site and updating it with Xenforo they made damn sure they did a backup this time around.

i'm not sure if this one had one i can't remember, but how long ago was 854 days? i never can remember years wise how long ago that was to be honest.

also i wonder how many the old site even had after being around for so long?
